Swagcraft – Shears Edition

Swagcraft – Shears edition is an adventure and RPG modpack that revolves around exploration and combat. It is mainly fantasy themed.

The primary aim was to overhaul most of vanilla Minecraft and to also add some new systems to improve combat and progression. The pack adds new items to find, bosses to kill and new biomes to explore while also keeping things fairly in line with the artstyle and feel of vanilla. I wanted to put an emphasis on risk and reward; making loot more varied and easier to find, but also increasing the game’s difficulty – especially in caves.

Some of the main additions are: Magic, weapon affixes and reforging, dungeons, dragons, trinkets and beer.

The pack also makes significant changes to terrain generation, structures and the vanilla dimensions. 

A quirk of the modpack is that sheep can no longer drop wool, needing to be sheared. I did this so that it is harder to get a bed, so you are more likely to make a cool house for night time or go spelunking early on to try and get some iron for shears. If you dislike this change, you can disable it by either deleting, disabling or configuring the “Edit mob drops” mod.

This is a fun and challenging modpack designed to be played with friends!
